So the amount of money spent means people don't really care or it's an illegitimate topic or something?

I'm suspicious of some topics and the support they get myself, but your approach here seems much too fast to dismiss a topic that maybe you don't like. It's way too easy to just say something is not organic or illegitimate when the issue is unpleasant rather than really deal with it. I don't know if anyone has a good way of getting their finger on legitimate, or topics that are more "important" than others in a democracy.

I couldn't care less about abortion on a personal level. It has zero impact on my life and never will.

But it's very clear to me that it's an artificially promoted issue that plays on people's emotions.

Divisive issues are not accidents. They're focusgrouped and marketed with extreme care.

I don't think I understand what you're saying. There can't be divisive issues?
